TSN Hockey analyst Frankie Corrado joins SC with Jay Onrait to share if Canucks fans should be worried about Quinn Hughes leaving as a UFA in two years, discuss the odds of Hughes signing an extension in Vancouver before July 1st next year, Sidney Crosby potentially being more open to moving on from Pittsburgh, and if he sees the Canadiens in a strong position to trade for Crosby.

a lot of talk but not going to happen? the price would be illogical to pay taking the rebuild plans out of effectiveness and specially medium term aspect. at 38 Sidney is a great hockey player and ambassader of hockey. but habs would have to trade important assets in youth players
If Sidney was 29 things would be different very different. but this guy is among the elite stars of the NHL. very credible. who knows maybe habe and Crosby can pull it off???
For 2 years, Quinn Hughes is signed with the Canucks. He isn't going anywhere.
No. Pittsburgh would want some of Montreal's potential star youth, and Crosby is on the cusp of retirement. Stahhhhhp.
Stupid take, Crosby will go to a team he could actually win another cup with. Montreal isn't it.
Crosby has full control on where he wants to go…
The Habs aren't very good right now. Crosby would go to a winner if he ever left Pittsburgh
Or maybe kaprizov dsn't see himself with the wild for 8 more years why is the entire discussion he wants even more money and we consider no other angles
Would I like it if Crosby played for the habs? Yes, would I like to see Montreal throw away our promising young core in exchange for him in a trade? No way, even though he’s still playing really well, Crosby would only benefit our team for 2 or 3 more years max, I would rather stick to the course and build toward sustained success
M.Hage , Kirby Dach , 2027 first
demidov? lol
Let's just say every player wants to go to Toronto or Montreal and be done. It's all it ever is.
if he comes for free
I think Crosby would look great in a Canadiens jersey, but Montreal shouldn't give up much to get him. A reasonable trade would be Crosby straight up for Alex Newhook. Newhook is only 24 years old (14 years younger than Crosby) and is a capable player who's put up 60 points over his past two seasons. Plus the Penguins would save 5.8 million in cap space. It's not a bad return for a 38 year old player even if that player is Sidney Crosby.
Sid the Kid is going to the Canucks
The problem i have with these pundits talking about the Habs having to give up premium assets and a potential franchise player is this, if Sid wants out of PITT and wants to go to MTL, how can Dubas not make it happen? How can he say to Hughes that Sid wants to play for you, and only you, but you need to give up your best prospect since LaFleur? Lol No. Dubas would be in such a position of weakness, that Hughes would only have to give a decent roster player (Newhook) an A- prospect (Engstrom) and a B level forward like Roy + a couple premium picks? You aint getting Demidov. Lol
Sid is THE missing piece to the habs becoming a top contender. Welcome home Sid.
1st. 2nd. Matheson and Beck.
The only basis for this rumor is that Montreal was his childhood team.
He’s a grown man who’s accomplished two decades of hockey, I’m sure there’s more in play. His wife, parents, who he plays with…
He has to do it.
Crosby will be traded for very little. Crosby is only going to a team ready to win. Trading away core roster players does the exact opposite.
yes, pens got Dubas as GM eh? no need to trade him though, he'll still be great after his current contract expires.
hes only got a couple years left, Montreal needs to focus on bringing in younger guys and should not give up any real prospects for him
Crosby will decide where he goes not Dubas
Bro, Demidov? $%^$ Yourself. Please.
Pittsburgh:
1st round pick
Adam Engstrom
Joshua Roy
Filip Mesar
Montreal:
Sidney Crosby
2nd round pick
i can't believe he mentioned Demidov hahaha like really. I also heard some other dummies at TSN about trading Lane Hutson for Crosby; Hey TSN Demidov and Hutson are the long term future for the HABS. As for Crosby well he's done in less than 4 years. C'mon guys!! u know better. Lol
Only T.O. Media would be as dumb…Jay has gone downhill ever since his partner was canned….can’t wait for first game of the season…
What if Kaprizov turned it down because he wanted less.. 🤔😅
TSN=The Stupid Network…….absolutely clueless/retarded, I thought Jeff O'Neil had issues, I guess they all drink the same water at the station. Crosby goes where Crosby wants to go…..wake up
20% of cap is too much for a single player. Those contracts are almost always devastating to a team.
I love Crosby, but imagine Kaprisof and Demidov 1st line in MTL!?
asking demidov for crosby is a joke and comparing brady with crosby is also a joke get this guy outta here
News flash…nobody is giving a Demidov/future superstar for 2 years of Crosby, get real.
Here me out crosby in Colorado
If I'm Top Dolla guy, imma say "You take less and I'll pay you X-amount if we win😂"
Please God make this happen 🙏
Useless gibberish for the first minute. Cable is such garbage. Never regretted cancelling it 5 years ago. Stop supporting this trash
How are you kindergarten socks?
Crosby in Montreal would be so cool ..
Who the hell are these guys?! they suck..!
If Pittsburgh is going to trade away Crosby, why would they want a player who's good now and might still keep them out of the McKenna lottery? In their shoes, I'd go for assets who could help them in 2-3 years.
I hate their sock and pant legs for some reason….
